Relatedly my friend posted this on other social media I’m not on (wife sent it to me):

100%. It seems to me like the “right” are helping the left along with the agendas, they are just pretending to be the opposition, but slowly over time.. things are going in the direction they want.
I heard it referred to as “the 2nd matrix” recently. Dead on
Anyone know says they “know for a fact” about any of these psyops and acts superior to the npcs, normies, muggles, muppets, or whatever other derogatory term for normal people should be taken with a huge grain of salt
Another element is the division this has sown within the “truther” and spiritual community.
There’s one camp that says it’s all fake and don’t be manipulated by any of it (and if you say it’s real you’re controlled opposition).
Then the other side says go inside, listen to your heart/intuition and know it’s real, don’t lose your humanity going down black rabbit holes.
My gnosis is better than your gnosis is the overall vibe where people who claim they’ve done the spiritual work on themselves are getting triggered
yeah, I don't have a solution except to stay very frosty about all of it and trust your eyes and ears more than “reports”, “studies”, “data”.
You mean, it wasn't the young man, it wasn't Mossad, it was the US government?
I mean, is anyone surprised about anything, anymore? 🤷🏻♀️
All I know, is that there are increasingly large numbers of mentally ill people running around, causing problems, and that all started when churches got emptier and people stopped marrying.
Exactly, it's giving me a headache! Saw one that said Charlie Kirk was still alive! Any of it is possible, but I feel like I’m being dragged down too many rabbit holes against my will. And I LIKE rabbit holes, it’s just getting excessive now, and I’m feeling manipulated.
And yes, people need to have something more than allegiance to ideology and tribe.
My media consumption tends center-left, but I occasionally binge on far-right and libertarian sources, and then I sort of end up in this Murky Middle, where each side sounded accurate and earnest, but internally conflicted and at odds with each other.
Which is probably the true state of things. Humans are incredibly complex.
It's an odd time, to be classically liberal.
Also, each side lies habitually, even when lying is pointless, and often without even noticing themselves that they are doing it.
It's not necessarily all intentional. I think there's a mental trap in assuming nothing is a conspiracy, and in assuming that everything is a conspiracy. There's probably mostly an organic tendency or trajectory within a group, with some targeted nudging, and everyone sort of automatically pays into it and tries to one-up each other, and it quickly gets ugly and crazy.
While I share your skepticism towards the narratives presented by those in power, I also recognize that genuine malevolence and violence do exist, and it's crucial to critically evaluate information without succumbing to the extremes of cynicism or naivety.
The US government, like any institution, is capable of both benevolence and malevolence, and a nuanced understanding of its actions requires a careful consideration of evidence and context. By maintaining a skeptical yet open minded approach, we can navigate the complex landscape of information and avoid being swayed by either the primary narrative or its carefully constructed counter narrative.

Chris Liss’s friend might have a point, but it’s hard to tell.
